Another one that seems below the radar is Oil for Food. That one should've been so much bigger than it was. Seemed pretty covered up to me.

yes, but Oil for Food but a bad light on the French and Russians whom the Democrats love. So that is why it wasn't listed on that list.

Y'know it's sad. I used to bash the French all the time. Called them cheese eating surrender monkeys. Say they invented cologne because they didn't bathe. But now the Bush Administration has robbed me of the all the joy I used to take in it. It's become such a mantra for the right-wing these days that sometimes I can barely bring myself to make a comment about the fact their women don't shave. But please, don't pity me. I will persevere!

By the way, nice link JJ, although I can see why some of those stories weren't covered.

alot of them would just confuse people, or didnt effect dialy life. Its sad what the Media doesnt cover due to ratings.

Example
Rememeber last summer when Gas went up 50 Cents. ANyone know why? I do. His Name is Chavez and If ANYONE other than
,Rico and Razorback, can tell me what Country he took over and Why he effected Oil prices gets a Gold Star.

Bush camp comments on mystery bulge



With speculation swirling that Bush was wired during the first presidential debate, it was probably only a matter of time before the Bush team would have to respond. If the president wasn't set up to channel Rovian assistance for an hour and a half of unscripted back and forth, is there a another explanation for that mysterious bulge that the cameras picked up in the back of Bush's suit?

Rory O'Connor at Media Channel.org successfully reached Mark McKinnon, the Bush campaign's media director, for comment.

"I love this. Am tempted to say, 'I cannot confirm or deny,' and let the story get some legs," McKinnon responded by email to O'Connor's inquiry. (As a top media operative for Bush, McKinnon should probably know that the story has already run a marathon through the blogosphere.) "Or, how about, 'Since we put the metal plate in his head, we have had some measure of success with audio transmissions to the President.' Or, 'Yeah, but it clearly broke down during the debate.' Unfortunately, the truth is not nearly as interesting. The answer is, 'The President has never been assisted by any audio signal.'"

While McKinnon was not without a sense of humor in denying the existence of any audio aid, it's intriguing that he said nothing about what that odd little bulge actually might have been.

With an official denial now on record, O'Connor wonders if anyone who can prove otherwise will step forward: "Any media professionals -- like the 'top Washington editor for Reuters' who reportedly told 'isbushwired' last spring that 'Sure, Bush uses an earpiece sometimes. State of the Union -- he had an earpiece for that. Everybody knows it.' -- please identify yourselves."
